#### The Ideal Fwd F/i Street / Drag Car ####

[Sexc86]

Gday guys,

just thought id want to get some opinions on what Aspects/features in the catagories below would a ideal street driven (possibly daily) 11sec FWD F/I Drag car would be made up of. Nothing unnecessary or overkill, needs to appear as "low key" (unmodified) as possible for the street. Semi-comfortable and reliable. Would not need to run 11s on pump fuel or street tyres. ie a street car with race fuel/slicks added for the track only.



Things like

* Body design/styling
* Engine
* Driveline
* Power delivery
* Suspension
* Brakes
* Fuel system
* Ignition
* Cooling
* Weight reduction
* ECU features
* Electronic accessories



Thanks in advance

Regards Lyle

Thanks for the input so far. But im really chaseing what specifications in specific areas that will need attention (areas shown in first post)... and what can be left oem.

Im personally new in the realm of FWD performance as I have always had RWD turbos.

A good mate once had a EP71 Starlet doing 12 second passes and I learnt a few things from him here and there, RWD or FWD concept is still the same....Get to the end quicker

As for what your asking,

* Body design/styling - You've asked for FWD, so for me its a Starlet 80 series - being sub 900kg (lighter than EGG) and you can get 4 door for practicability, tho as small as it is!
* Engine - Shoe horn a B18 or K20 (should pass engineering easily as its NA).
* Driveline - Good clutch and Slicks.
* Power delivery - Driver dependant.
* Suspension - Low softish front and high hardish rear (Adjustable coilovers will cover that for track and road)
* Brakes - No real big deal, small up grade as the car does not weigh that much.
* Fuel system - After market pump - nothing special for a street 11 sec car.
* Ignition - Any after market tunable ECU
* Cooling - Stock should be fine.
* Weight reduction - Usual sound deadener removal (if you wish) and interior bits for races.
* ECU features - Launch control and shift light.
* Electronic accessories - As above

If you wanna stay true to honda, there really isnt much choice but an Civic up to EG or it'll be heavy and $$$
